Boss Kieran McKenna would like to make two or three more additions before the transfer window closes next Friday.

Earlier this week, Brandon Williams came in on loan from Manchester United, becoming the club’s fifth signing of the summer.

Asked whether he has other areas where he’d still like to add players, McKenna said: “There are, I think we’ve been clear on that right the way through, so we still feel like there are two or three additions that we’d like to make.

“There’s obviously a week left, so let’s see where we get to. It’s not the time to reflect too much now, we’ve got Leeds tomorrow, full focus on that, and the club will work very hard next week to add quality to the squad and let’s see we are come this time next week.

“As I’ve said before, I know what we have in the building and I know how hard the boys are working and my focus today is on helping them for tomorrow.”

Meanwhile, former Blues loanee Tyreece John-Jules has joined League One Derby County on loan until January.

missingsuffolk added 15:02 - Aug 25 I love the determination, and how the club is following through. So good.

PortmanTerrorist added 15:12 - Aug 25 Agree on additional numbers, but by the same token I hope we see the all guns blazing Ladapo tomorrow versus the lacklustre version we have seen a couple of times this season. Huge opportunity for him if Hirst is injured....has to take it and take pressure off recruitment.

Naylorsrightboot added 15:19 - Aug 25 Ladapo isn’t the answer if Hirst is out. The 2 are night and day. We need another striker badly and another centre half before next Friday.

jas0999 added 15:20 - Aug 25 A striker and a centre back are absolute musts. Already looking a bit lacking in defensive numbers with injuries. Same up front.

Europablue added 15:52 - Aug 25 We have a great first 11 and a decent squad, but a few injuries and the squad can feel a little threadbare, so we do need those extra players.

gosblue added 16:19 - Aug 25 I think all our signings so far have been on our list for a long time. The fact that we haven’t made wholesale changes is the main reason we were ready for the start of the season unlike many teams. KMcK is great at seeing our short comings and filling the gaps. It just takes for ever at this level. Eventually we will come across a side that is ready to go. Let’s hope it isn’t Leeds tomorrow.

Cadiar added 17:20 - Aug 25 Some very stupid comments about Ladapo, lack lustre? He wouldn't be near the squad if that was the case & his goal scoring record is probably better than Hirst's if taken minutes playing About time the Jackson haters crawled out from under the stones they hide under.

Northstandveteran added 18:59 - Aug 25 Jackson joint top scorer, one shot, 100% goal conversion. I make you right Cadiar.

Suffolkboy added 19:01 - Aug 25 The time for us being really tested will surely come ; McK is well up to assessing the task and recognises ( & has for a long time) the gaps we need to fill ,and the reinforcements to seek out . Let’s wish he and MA every bit of luck ! COYB

algarvefan added 08:27 - Aug 26 We don't seem to do much in the way of looking for continental players, I assume we have scouts abroad?
